Jaiku, a Finland-based mobile IM and presence company has just been bought by Google (GOOG). You can get the whole story on the Jaiku website. When you get to the website, just check the Jaiku blog. There you will get more details and also a column on FAQ for current users. Don't expect to find the terms for this transaction in the blog because it was not mentioned.
This new development is indeed a source of joy for the small Jaiku Company and an additional piece for the Google Phone Puzzle.
The most important aspect where Google needs to put a lot of value for its users is in the area of activity streams and mobile presence. So, with the addition of Jaiku's technology and talented team, it will be of great advantage to Google's present application and also its mobile teams.
When you consider all this initially, it is actually a wonderful purchase by Google. Well the next step is for me is to sit back and relax, so I can try to comprehend the full meaning of this acquisition by Google and its implication in the mobile and VoIP space.
